Rerouting Irish modernism: postcolonial aesthetics and the imperative of cosmopolitanism -- Modernity's edge: speaking silence on the blaskets -- Sea?n O'Faola?in and the end of republican realism -- Unnaming the subject: Samuel Beckett and postcolonial absence -- Postmodern blaguardry: Frank McCourt, the celtic tiger, and the ashes of history -- Conclusion. Dispatches from the modernist frontier: European and Asiatic papers. 330 $aShedding new light on the rich intellectual and political milieux shaping the divergent legacies of Joyce and Yeats, Empire?s Wake traces how a distinct postcolonial modernism emerged within Irish literature in the late 1920's to contest and extend key aspects of modernist thought and aesthetic innovation at the very moment that the high modernist literary canon was consolidating its influence and prestige. By framing its explorations of postcolonial narrative form against the backdrop of distinct historical moments from the Irish Free State to the Celtic Tiger era, the book charts the different phases of 20th-century post-coloniality in ways that clarify how the comparatively early emergence of the postcolonial in Ireland illuminates the formal shifts accompanying the transition from an age of empire to one of globalization. Bringing together new perspectives on Beckett and Joyce with analyses of the critically neglected works of Sean O?Faoláin, Frank McCourt, and the Blasket autobiographers, Empire?s Wake challenges the notion of a singular ?global modernism? and argues for the importance of critically integrating the local and the international dimensions of modernist aesthetics. 606 $aEnglish literature$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature 606 $aModernism (Literature) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 676 $a820.9/9415 700 $aQuigley$b Mark$01056468 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463288603321 996 $aEmpire's wake$92490853 997 $aUNINA
